Yosemite National Park Yosemite Falls Print

Yosemite Falls, located in Yosemite National Park, is one of the tallest waterfalls in North America, plunging nearly 2,425 feet from the top to the valley below. The falls consist of three sections: the Upper Falls, Middle Cascades, and the Lower Falls, each offering a spectacular display of water flowing over rugged cliffs. Yosemite Falls is especially impressive during the spring, when snowmelt from the surrounding mountains creates a powerful surge of water. The falls are a prominent feature in the park’s landscape, visible from various points in Yosemite Valley and drawing visitors year-round to experience its awe-inspiring beauty.
